"Please let Miss Meng go with her hands.W√w    W     .★8★1         W★．★CoM”

"I don't understand Lord Yang's words. What does it have to do with me if my wife disappears?"

Yang Hao smiled and said nothing. Yong'an County Magistrate Zhu Xiangnan said: "This morning someone found a male corpse in the abandoned Jiutian Temple in the east of the city. The deceased was 35 or 36 years old. He died of his throat. The man had two plum blossoms tattooed on his abdomen, and he was a killer of mosha."

"What exactly does this Shangguan want to say after saying so much? I suspect that we are Mosha's killers? Since I doubt that, why not just catch us and take us back for interrogation?"

Yang Hao said: "Someone saw you come out of the Nine Heavens Temple."

The woman surnamed Meng changed her face and shouted, "Then what are you waiting for?"

After hearing this, the four young men in brocade all pulled out their long swords and forced them up one by one. Cheng Keling raised his hand, and a group of crossbowmen rushed in, staring at them with arrows.

The situation was approaching, and the people watching the fun at the door were not good, so they shrank their heads and were about to leave. However, they were blocked by the guards guarded outside.

"What should the girl do to let her go?" Yang Hao's eyes were filled with anger.

"You really care about her so much?"

"Please help me."

"Okay, you kneel down in front of them and kowtow three times."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar.

Cheng Keling shouted, "Don't bully people too much." The guards banged forward.

The woman laughed and said, "Why, you can't stand it? It's really embarrassing to ask the dignified governor to kowtow to a rural girl in public, let alone just for a concubine who was a slut."

Before he finished speaking, Yang Hao suddenly lifted his clothes and knelt in front of the woman, and kowtowed to her three times respectfully. This time, it was the woman surnamed Meng's turn to be a little confused.

The scholar beside her stood up and said a few words in front of her ear, then quickly took two steps forward to help Yang Hao up, turned around and ordered the young man in Jinyi who stepped on Fu Yi: "Sanlang let me go." The young man in Jinyi moved his foot away, lifted Fu Yi with blood on his face, and reached out to hold a purple-red pill. Fu Yi did not accept his actions of showing goodwill. He snorted and retreated behind Yang Hao, with his face flushed with shame.

"The flood has washed away the Dragon King Temple." The scholar smiled and said to Yang Hao, who was full of confusion, "Dalang, you don't know me, but I know you."

When Yang Hao heard this, he was suddenly shocked, stared at the face of the scholar, and asked incoherently: "You... are..."

The scribe laughed, stepped forward and held his hand, and said, "I am the next surname Wu, Wu Chenglong. I am still your cousin. Unfortunately, I haven't seen each other for many years, so I won't kiss you anymore."

Yang Hao opened his mouth wide and was stunned for a while before he recovered. He held the scribe's hand and said excitedly: "So he is my second cousin. I haven't seen you for many years and have not seen you for many years. How are you good?"

When the woman heard the intimate feeling of them, she couldn't help but cough and said bluntly: "Second brother, let's go."

"Oh, why bother? They are all family, why bother to make a fuss? Besides, we came here to Feng'an to recognize our relatives?" The scholar comforted the woman named Meng and sat down, and the woman lowered her head and said nothing.

Yang Hao pointed to the woman surnamed Meng and asked the scholar: "Cousin, is this person..."

The literati looked at the warriors in the hall and said with a smile: "Darang still remembers the Yao cousin in Mengzhou?" Yang Hao was shocked. He had heard Xiaoyu mention that he had a cousin in Mengzhou, nicknamed "Mengzhou Yizhihua". Yang Hao looked at the woman surnamed Meng. Judging from her age, she was only about twenty years old. He thought to himself whether she was "Mengzhou Yizhihua"? But this posture was called "Mengzhou Little Pepper".

Seeing that he was a little confused, the scholar hurriedly reminded him: "She is your cousin Yao, whose name is Meng Yao."

Yang Hao smiled awkwardly, hurriedly bowed to the woman and called her cousin. The woman said, "Let's avoid etiquette. Those three heads just now were considered a gift for each other."

Wu Chenglong said deliberately loudly again: "We did save a girl when we passed by Jiutianguan this morning, but the man was killed by another person. We were about to report to the official, but it happened to be delayed here." As he said that, he ordered a young man in Jinyi behind him: "Let's go back to the county government and tell the whole story of what we saw to the Tang Zun to know." The young man in Jinyi nodded and said yes.

Yang Hao knew what he meant, so he said to Zhu Xiangnan, the magistrate of Yong'an County beside him: "This matter is of great importance. Please go back to the yamen to handle it now." Zhu Xiangnan bowed and said, and withdrew with the young man in brocade clothes and Fu Yi and other yamen runners.

Wu Chenglong said again: "Miss Xiaoyu is now guarding the little pine forest in the north of the city. We ask Dalang to send someone to pick it up. The code for meeting is..." He said this, swallowed the words and whispered twice in Yang Hao's ear.

Yang Hao called Cheng Keling and Guan Suo, and whispered a few words, beating the two of them and a group of guards. Li Tong had been in the officialdom for many years. Seeing this, he knew that Yang Hao was interested in supporting everyone, so he tactfully retreated, leaving only ten guards guarding the door, and did not allow idle people to approach the restaurant. The idle guy who was watching the fun also scattered.

Ma Lida took a lot of effort to get up, and said to the woman surnamed Meng, "Sister Yao, I have lost all my face this time." Meng Yao said, "This is what it means to not fight or make a deal. This Yang Envoy is my cousin. The grudge between you two has ended here. You are not allowed to talk to him in the future." Yang Hao bowed and said, "A misunderstanding, please don't mind Brother Ma. I'm sorry to Brother Ma here. The medicine fee is all on Yang."

Ma Li waved his hand and said, "What's the point of a few small money? Brother Yang, oh no, Governor Yang, I'm convinced you. In Feng'an, you dare to hit me with a big horse, you are the number one! Okay, I've handed over you brother." He reached out to shake hands with Yang Hao and said joy.

Wu Chenglong beat the remaining three teenagers. At this time, only Yang Hao, Meng Yao, Wu Chenglong and the strong man were left in the hall. Yang Hao asked the strong man for his name and called him a gentleman. The man smiled and said, "I am not a gentleman. My surname is Zongyangji. It is the horse barge of the shopkeeper. You should call me Lao Zhuan."

Yang Hao bowed to the woman again and said, "I heard from my mother that I often played with my sister in my childhood. I didn't want to part with me for more than ten years. Now I can't get to know each other. I also heard that my uncle's family is in great influence, so why did he want my sister to go out for business alone?"

Meng Yao said: "Why, do you look down on women? Compared to you, am I just a daughter?"

Yang Hao said: "Sister, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean that."

Meng Yao asked aggressively: "You don't mean that, what do you mean?"

Seeing that the siblings were about to quarrel, Wu Chenglong hurriedly smoothed out and said to Yang Hao: "We come to recognize relatives thousands of miles away, and the governor will not even be reluctant to give up the cup of tea." Yang Hao hurriedly said to him: "Please ask for a second cousin, the second cousin and Mr. Chung's mansion to talk to him." Meng Yao said: "Okay, don't come to these false ones. I came to you all the way to ask you for help. I don't know if the governor Yang is willing to recognize me, a relative of the grass." Yang Hao said with a blushing face: "Sister is ashamed to kill people, but he dares to obey the orders."

Meng Yao smiled and said, "This is still like a saying. Mr. Wu will talk to you about business matters. Let me ask you, who have you offended and asked someone to ask Mosha's killer to deal with you?"

Yang Hao said: "The officialdom is also a world of martial arts, and I will inevitably offend some people. My younger brother occupied Feng'an and cut off some people's financial resources, so I was naturally jealous. My older sister helped me to help me with the big troubles of my younger brother, and I would never implicate my younger brother in the slightest amount of money."

Meng Yao sneered: "Just, you will naturally have to recite this account."

Yang Hao was right, and Meng Yao was not angry when she saw that she ridiculed him. She felt bored for a moment and said to Wu Chenglong and Zong Yangji: "I'm tired, so I'll take a break first. You guys take care of each other, don't worry about me." He went to the guest room to rest.

Yang Hao bowed to see her leave, and then he said to Wu Chenglong and the others in embarrassment: "I have been afraid of her since I was a child. I haven't seen her for more than ten years, but I still feel guilty when I see her."

Zhong Yangji laughed and said, "Miss Meng Yao's temper has been bad. It has changed a lot in the past two years. This is also because I met you. If I feel close to you, I will speak without restraint. I will be closer to you." Speaking of this, Zhong Yangji said, "The rule of Mosha is to kill people when you see money, do not ask about right or wrong, and do my best. There are only three things. Generally speaking, if the first assassination fails, they will have a second and third time. Only by passing three levels in a row can they escape the disaster. Governor Yang still has to pay attention."

Yang Hao said, "Thank you, Master Zhong, for reminding me, I will be careful." He asked Wu Chenglong with a smile: "What's the important thing about my cousin here?"

Wu Chenglong was about to speak, and Zhong Yangji stood up and said, "You talk, I will say goodbye first." Wu Chenglong said, "Envoy Yang is not an outsider." Zhong Yangji laughed and said, "The governor is not an outsider, but rules are rules. I, the old man, should be a person who follows the rules and keep a steady mind." After that, he bowed to Yang Hao.

Only Yang Hao and Wu Chenglong were left in the hall. They looked at each other for a long time, but they didn't say anything. In the end, Yang Hao spoke first, and he said, "How are you doing after half a year of separation?"

Wu Chenglong said: "I'm very good, where are you."

Yang Hao said: "I'm very good too."

Wu Chenglong patted Yang Hao on the shoulder, and his eyes were slightly tide, saying, "It's good to be alive, it's good to be alive."

He is an acquaintance of Yang Hao, and Wu Chenglong is just his pseudonym, and his real name is Qi Mo.

After the Palace of the Daming Palace, Qi Mo escaped from Chang'an and headed east to seek refuge. Luoyang was the largest stronghold of the Sage Horse Camp except Chang'an. It was strong. After the Ganlu Incident, blood flowed into a river in Chang'an. Countless elites of the Sage Horse Camp were destroyed, but the eastern capital Luoyang was relatively stable. Even the Dongdu left behind, who was a pro-elebrate party, did not dare to force him too ruthlessly. He knew very well that without the protection of the Shen Ce Army, his stay was just a puppet. It was not difficult for the Sage Horse Camp to pull him off.

Yang Hao sighed and said, "At one time there was a rumor that you were killed by them in Henan Prefecture, but I think if you really want to escape, how could they hold you?"

Qi Mo said: "You overestimate me. I was caught by them before I ran to Henan Prefecture. If Meng Yao hadn't saved me, I would have been a skeleton with a broken head now."

Yang Hao said: "I always think she looks familiar. Is she really my cousin Meng Yao?"

Qi Mo said: "You don't know your own sister, but you ask me what the reason is."

Yang Hao said: "I haven't seen her for more than ten years, and the shadows of the old days have also blurred."

Qi Mo said: "Don't doubt this. She is your real second cousin. Do you think she looks familiar. This is right. Do you still remember Zichen?"

Yang Hao was so shocked that he almost called out: "Zi Chen, is it her?"

Qi Mo nodded: "Yes, she is Zi Chen, the fifth-ranked family in the Eight Great Mosha. She entered the Assassination Ma Court last winter to assassinate you. She was captured because of the defeat. You hid her in the dormitory. Remember you asked me why I wanted to let her go in the camp? That was Li Xun's idea. Although this person is narrow-minded and stubborn, there is one thing that is worthy of praise: his eyesight is very powerful, and he could tell at a glance that Zi Chen is a person who can be used."

Yang Hao said: "You are using her, what are you doing?"

Qi Mo smiled and said, "You don't have to worry. It's true that she is used, but it didn't harm her. Li Xun originally wanted to join forces with Mosha's power to drive the palace to eradicate the eunuch party. But Mosha was unwilling to be enemies with Qiu Shiliang, so he did not agree. Li Xun then settled down and wanted to reach an agreement with Mosha to turn war into jade. If everyone can't be friends, don't be enemies. This is not possible for ordinary people to say, and they have to find someone with weight to say it. He likes Zichen, but it will be done as soon as he says it."

Yang Hao remembered that during the time when Zi Chen was recuperating in his dormitory, Qi Mo once brought someone to see her. When the man came, he wore a black cloak and wrapped his head in a leather scarf. He drove him out as soon as he entered the door. He did not recognize him at the time. Now he thinks that person should be Li Xun.

"Li Xun is dead, will Mosha still admit the claim?"

"Why don't admit your account and not be enemies with the Spurs camp, it will only benefit but not harm Mosha."

"But their killer still killed my house. Last night, Han Sui, oh, like me, he was killed in the backyard of the governor's mansion. It was only a few dozen feet away from me, and then they took the fish. If you didn't have your help, I might have been in the wilderness. Is this their promise?"

Qi Mo smiled and said, "First of all, you have to congratulate you on your rise to the fifth grade horizontal sword, from the ninth grade to the fifth grade, you actually crossed the seventh level in one breath! It shows that people are easy to practice in public schools. As for you saying that they did not keep their promises, you misunderstood them. The agreement they reached with Li Xun is like this: If the persons above the third grade or above the Spurs camp do not kill, they can still kill those below the third grade or below, so you can't be careless at the fifth grade or above."

Yang Hao laughed and cried: "This Li Xun, it turns out that he is only considering himself."

Qi Mo said: "It's already good. In Mosha's eyes, the Tsuma Camp is a money tree. In their eyes, we are just fat pigs waiting to be slaughtered. Who wouldn't be able to get along with the money?"

Yang Hao said: "Then I don't understand. What means did Li Xun use to force Mosha to enter into this agreement with him."

Qi Mo said: "It's not about force, it's about temptation. He promised Mosha to use all the power of the Thorn Horse Camp to support Haotian Trading Company and make it one of the best major trading companies in the world. When Haotian becomes Mosha's new money tree, we fat pigs will have a real life. Only then can the two families really turn wars into jade and silk."

Yang Hao nodded and smiled, "It seems that only by climbing up to the high branch of Haotian Trading Company can you and I have a good life." He also said, "If you want to have a fortune, you will get a side door under the protection of the official service. In this way, is it the arrangement of the general manager who goes to Haotian?"

Qi Mo said: "That's natural. Both are from the fifth-grade horizontal sword. You have territory, soldiers and horses, and I have nothing to do, so I have to accompany you to serve this moody lady carefully."

Yang Hao said: "You are content. Although my cousin has a little irritable temper, it is also beneficial."

As soon as she said this, she suddenly heard a sneer and said, "What are the benefits of me?" Meng Yao walked over staggeringly, seeing her fluffy hair and sleepy eyes, she should have just gotten up. The two of them stood up to greet her. Wu Chenglong said, "He just talked about some interesting things about you when you were a child."

Meng Yao lay on the table, held her chin with one hand, and asked Yang Hao lazily: "What did you say to me?"

Yang Hao said: "When you were a child, you took us to poke a hornet's nest. When we arrived at the place, we didn't dare to do it. You showed off your ability and took away the bamboo pole and said, "It's all a coward, look at me." Then you poked the hornet's nest down, and as a result... your head was tinged like a fat pig's head."

Yang Hao covered his mouth and burst into laughter. Meng Yao had already drunk a bowl of herbal tea and was in good spirits. She waved her fist at Yang Hao and said, "I am a pig's head. I'm better than you. Where will you be? You are lying on the ground and let someone step on a dog to eat shit."

"Hahaha," Qi Mo couldn't help laughing. Meng Yao gave him a blank look and asked with a sneer: "I heard you guys whispering here and nagging for a long time. What are you saying? Have you said the serious matter?"

Qi Mo's face turned red and was about to answer. Yang Hao said first: "I said it, but what about my benefits."

Meng Yao said, "If you help me with your heart, I will naturally not treat you badly." After that, she glanced at Qi Mo, got up and walked out. Yang Hao asked, "Where are you going?" Meng Yao replied, "Go and see the little fish you raised."

Watching him go away, Qi Mo smiled helplessly and said, "You should know my pain." He asked Yang Hao again, "When she was a child, she was really stung by a hornet and became a fat pig's head."

Yang Hao smiled and said, "Who remembers that I'm just talking nonsense. Who hasn't been stung by a hornet? Look at her left eyelid with a scar the size of a rice grain, and it's probably stung by a hornet." He asked Qi Mo again, "What's wrong with you here?"

Qi Mo said: "I'll ask you to help transport private goods to the north. This matter is easy for you, the governor who is in charge of military affairs. When the matter is done, you will give you five thousand taels of gold as a thank you."

Yang Hao was slightly shocked and asked quietly: "What kind of private goods is it?"

Qi Mo said lightly: "It's nothing, it's a custom-made porcelain, lacquerware and silk fabrics in the palace. Some people have made it out with great magical powers, and now they are planning to sell it to the Uighurs at a high price. Apart from being an imperial court, there is nothing surprising. If you don't believe it, you can unbox it yourself and check it out."

Yang Hao said: "I'm just asking, I don't care what you are for. But when will you fulfill the benefits you give me? I'm so poor that I can't get rid of the blame."

Qi Mo took out a wooden box from his sleeve. The surface looked rough, but there were two dazzling pearls inside.

"These two beads are set for the deposit, and the rest will be presented after the goods are cleared."

Yang Hao collected the beads and said, "The people of Shiwei are good at making blankets. The mainlanders call them border blankets. In Feng'an, a blanket of one or two silver pieces will be shipped to Chang'an and Luoyang, and the price will be 10 taels. I wonder if Haotian Trading Company is willing to do this business."

Qi Mo said: "It doesn't matter whether this kind of small business is done or not. If you have one, I will help you sell it on your behalf, eliminate the cost and give me 20% of the profit."

Yang Haoxi said: "I will find the source of goods soon. At that time, I will send someone to send the samples to Luoyang and ask Mr. Wu to take a look. As long as the teacher nods and says OK, the source of goods will not be a problem in the future."

Qi Mo smiled and said, "I dare not call him the shopkeeper, just call me Mr. Wu."
